Wow, STAMPlorations is celebrating its second birthday and they celebrating the whole week - woohoo! I have the honour to be a part of the birthday blog hop as a guestie!
They have released three stamp sets for the birthday party and they are so much fun!

I made four cards using these sets. As you can see Party Mates was my favorite one! All the setiments are from the set Party Time.
For the first card I did A LOT of coloring with colored pencils! It takes some time but I love to do it!

On the second card there are legs, legs, legs from the set Party Girl!

For the last two cards I used watercolors! I created a background using Distress Inks it got a little muddy. So I chose some pieces that turned out well and used them for paper piecing the cupcakes.

On the last card I tried a technique I learned from my friend Birka. You can see the video here. It is on German but I think you will understand it even if you don't speak German.

Zum Wochenanfang habe ich eine Löwenkarte für Euch. Ich habe sie mit Wasserfarben coloriert, was eher selten bei mir ist - meistens mache ich das nur bei Blumen.At the beginning of the week I have a card with a lion for you. I colored it with water colors. I don't do that very often, most of the time I use water colors for flowers.

It's Lottie and Lisa time! Lottie and Lisa is back from holiday break!

That means Christine vom Kartenchaosand I usually pick a stamp or stamp set that we both have (we nearly have the same taste!) and create a card with this set and another task.Today Christine made a wish, and it is:

Schon sind wieder zwei Wochen rum und es gibt eine neue Challenge bei Seize the Birthday! Dieses Mal lautet die weitere Vorgabe: nur neutrale Farben.Two weeks are over already and it is time for a new challenge over at Seize the Birthday. This time the topping is: Nothing but Neutrals.

Stempel/stamps: Liebe, nichts als Liebe von Stampin' Up

und

Vorgabe/challenge: Gelb, Orange und Pink

Die, die das Lottchen schon ganz lange, quasi von Anfang an begleiten, werden sich vielleicht wundern: Das gab es doch schon mal! Ja, tatsächlich, uns gehen langsam die gemeinsamen Stempelsets aus - außer natürlich die von Create a Smile. So dachten wir uns, die alten Stempel dürfen auch mal wieder ein bisschen Licht sehen. Und ich kann Euch sagen, dieses Set habe ich laaaannnnggggeeee nicht mehr benutzt, auch wenn ich es bis heute sehr hübsch finde! Leider kann man es nicht mehr kaufen.You, who follow the Lottie and Lisa a bit longer, actually from the beginning, may say: Hey, you used the set before. Yes, finally, we used nearly all the sets we both have - except for Create a Smile stamps.So we thought it is time to give the old stamps some love. And I can tell you I haven't used this set for a loooonnnggg time but I still like it a lot. Unforunatly it is retired.

Ich muss zugeben, das Ornage ist auf meiner Karte ein wenig zu kurz gekommen. Auf dem Lastwagen sollte sich eigentlich Gelb udn Pink zu Orange vermischen - so recht hat's nicht geklappt. In der Realität sieht es ein wenig mehr nach Orang aus!I have to admit there is just a little tiny bit of orange on my card. The plan was that the yellow and the pink blends with each other to orange. In real life it looks a bit more loíke orange - I swear.
